It happened to me when I was 10, playing second base with the winning run on third base in the last inning. The batter hit a wicked line drive that one-hopped and hit me in the shin. OUCH! I picked up the ball, but suddenly I couldn’t remember how many outs we had; thus I didn’t know whether to throw it to home or to first. Spasmodically, I threw it BETWEEN them.....................................To this day, I have no idea how many outs we had.
Yeah I watched the incoherent interview with the Phillies pitcher. Mistakes happen in baseball. Easy for us to judge and all.
But he would have done better for himself with an honest straight forward response, e.g. I screwed up. But he sounded like someone with a sub-80 IQ or on drugs. Pitiful.
